    My wife and I had a terrible experience at the Fleetwood House Bed and Breakfast in Portland, ME. Our room was warm and smelled. The words “sickening”, “oppressive” and “putrid” come to mind, a combination of cigarette smoke and cat dander (we’d seen 5 cats, but suspected more). We opened windows for fresh air since there are no air conditioner’s at the Fleetwood, only to hear horrendous truck noises from the interstate highway nearby -- so loud that we had to speak up to be heard. As we tried to sleep, the trucks were joined by crying cats inside and occasional bangs from the communal bathroom door – only one of the rooms actually has its own bathroom. All of this was bad enough, but it was the brew of cigarette smoke and cat dander (i.e., particles of dried dead cat skin, oil, and saliva) that did us in. By 4:00 am, after sleepless hours of this noise and stench, though neither of us had ever had a reaction to cats before, we developed severe allergic reactions that drove us from the house altogether; my wife's eyes swelled near shut, and both of us had trouble breathing. After deciding to bail, we hastily packed our bags and slept in our car from 4:00 AM until 7:00 AM. I found Linda to check out before breakfast since we simply could not stay in the house. When I explained our allergic reaction to Linda, the proprietor, she adamantly refused to work with us on the bill, and we learned that she had already charged my credit card for our entire stay. She simply explained that “I’m sorry it turned out this way”, and ended the conversation. In short, we found ourselves out on the street and unable to stay in Fleetwood House Bed and Breakfast because it is toxic, unhealthy and inhospitable. We had been charged over $300.00 for this experience, and now had no place to stay. Being high season in Portland, we couldn’t find another room and had to return home from our vacation. Yes, Linda, “We’re sorry it turned out this way.”

    Innkeeper Response
    As the Innkeeper of the Fleetwood House B & B, I must comment on the review regarding the following subjects from R. C. of Groton. I have been in business for eleven years and on a rare occasion you will get a person that is dissatisfied with everything but for the most part the guests that come to our B & B are very happy when they leave. The guests in question booked their reservation thru Instant World Booking and to get to the reservation site you have to past a very large cat that tells guests that we do have resident cats, So Beware. I feel badly that their stay was cut short but they also need to know that this is a business and that when a guest reserves a room, I am turning other guests away because of their reservation. I do not have 5 or more cats, I have 4 indoor/outdoor cats, in the spring, summer, and fall they prefer to be outdoors. My cats are not allowed in the guest's bedrooms but on occasion a guest will sneak one in for a while, and I do discourage this. My rooms are cleaned on a daily basis and I do take offence when someone states my rooms are dirty, this is my residence also. I do know that cats shed, that’s why I am constantly vacuuming and as for cat scales, I've never seen one. Perhaps he brought a microscope for that purpose. The noise level he experienced is city noise, not highway noise. We are at least 2 miles from the interstate. I have to admit the air conditioner in that room was not put in on time, but is in place now. My maintenance man was tied up on another job and wasn't able to get here in time. So I do apologize for that. I hope B & B guests will take what I am saying into consideration. We are not an undesirable place to stay and try really hard to please our guests
